Why Elect Hudak?

This blog discusses all that goes on in the world of Canadian politics at all levels, and other happenings in the news.

Today Tim Hudak was speaking on AM640 to John Oakley.

Why Mr. Hudak should be Premier of Ontario I'll never know.

It's not that Dalton McGuinty deserves to be Premier. His failure in Caledonia to out shove "native" thugs and bullies proves that. To be fair, John Tory would have done the exact same thing - nothing. It does no good to fine a drunken thug who has no job, and nowhere better to be than jail.

Back to Mr. Hudak though. He doesn't strike me as a better choice.

His platform seems to be "Elect me because I'll spend your money better than the other guy, and Andrea doesn't have a prayer regardless that she rides on Saint Jack".

If we want continuous spending, unaccountable fat government, and lack-lustre castrated leadership, why don't we just re-elect McGuinty? At least then we can ban the incandescent light bulb and get back to Family Day.

Have you seen Mr. Hudak's (secret right wing) plan to end Caledonia? Ah yes, no-one has asked him for a straight answer on Caledonia (will you direct the police to enforce an existing court order to remove Caledonia protestors with force if necessary? - yes or no - no posturing please). Instead, he's been Fantino-ized (given a pass).

Relax, McGuinty will never stand up in Calendonia either. Besides, voters are too dumb and lazy to care.

How about getting rid of public sector unions? That's not going to happen under Hudak. Reigning in teachers? Opening provincial medicine to competition? Opening liquor sales to competition? Repealing HST in its entirety? Limiting provincial government action to only that prescribed by the Constitution of Canada?

I know you should never say never.  But.  Never.

Never.

By the way, HST reduced utility bill? Big deal - it was a tax on top of a tax anyway. It's peanuts - keep it.

If we have a choice between a real liberal, and one who calls himself a conservative yet seems suspiciously similar to a liberal, why don't we just take the real deal? That's what the United States did with Hussain Obama and John McCain (okay, the race card was also played, but still ...). Mr. McCain walked across the aisle so much he was the envy of every bride wanna-be.

We're only one stop short of both Hudak and McGuinty coming out with a proclamation that Saint Jack's dying wish was that we all unite and elect a Hudak-McGuinty Euro-coalition, so we can be more like Europe. After all, Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain really have their stuff together - just look at their booming economy.

After relishing in election victory, we can legislate a long weekend to celebrate cultural cuisine ethnicity preservation gluten free vegetarian halal day, as a day when we ask Ontarians to stop being so racist toward food because it violates our human rights and international law.

God bless Ontario.
